VICK SOnowarirr. esttra early varieties. The plants 
?;row erect, with slender wiry stems, crowned with beautiful, 
eathery flowers, nearly a wcelt ahead of any other variety we have

Irregular character of the inner petals. Under favorable condi- 
tions a bloclt of Snowdrift is a money-making proposition the 
first few days while prices are high. Pkt., 20 cts.
